Remarques RemarkRemarques RemarkAt the beginning of the 20th Century, the great powers of the world engaged in the largest war concerning deaths in modern times. This war, which is often called the Great War, or World War I, had serious consequences that have affected our world today a great deal. One novel, All Quiet on the Western Front, has been considered a classic and possibly “the greatest war novel of all time”. The story follows the adventures of a German solider, Paul Baumer, from the time he enters the military to his unfortunate death at the end. This book could possibly be used to illuminate discussion about the Great War because of the past history of the author, the daily experiences that the soldiers encounter, and the effects of the war had on the soldier’s personal lives. Before the novel opens, there is a short explanation which states:
The History of the Great War. A Brief History of the Great War and Its Effects. The Great War is the World War I of World War I and its Effects.
In its current state, war continues in the developed world. Since its start in 1914, the world has lived in extreme poverty. Over the past twenty years, there has been a massive increase in the death toll from the war in Russia and a devastating epidemic of tuberculosis. As the war progressed in the Middle East and South Asia, thousands of thousands of civilians were left to die. And this tragedy brought about a growing awareness of war that still lives on in war. These people included children from the first war in the 1930s; those who were killed in the first war; survivors of war who have lost their lives, or who have recovered from the war itself. This literature is a part of the research of sociologist Benjamin Sacks, author of the book History of a World War.
The first war was not just a political event and one of the leading causes of the Holocaust and the Holocaust. The other causes were a series of war crimes and military interventions created by the United States, Great Powers countries and other peoples of the World. Over the course of the twentieth century, the war for control of territory in a country like Great Britain, in India, Iraq, Iraq, Syria, Yemen, Sudan and Afghanistan, has escalated from World War I to World War II. The consequences have been horrific. The first three wars in the 1940s, 1945-56, caused a war that killed more than one quarter of 1 billion people in the world, including more than 2 million civilian civilians. The second war, which cost millions of lives and contributed to the war for many years, involved the assassination of American diplomat Thomas Frank in Pakistan, Iraq and Afghanistan. In 1967, the U.S.-led invasion of Vietnam killed more than one million Vietnamese. The U.S.’ invasion of Kuwait and the Gulf War—including the capture and use of chemical weapons against civilians—destroyed hundreds and forced thousands of American military personnel out of their homes. An estimated four to five million Vietnamese have died. During the first decades of the Cold War, there was a great increase in human suffering, including deaths from infectious diseases, starvation attacks, and epidemics of infectious diseases. Human suffering is also being experienced in the Middle East and South Asia. A total of 5,600,000 persons, including 1 million civilians, have been displaced by the conflict. Many of these displaced are now refugees in refugee camps located in the desert. Thousands are forced to leave their homes due to war and oppression. It is estimated that over 300,000 people fled to the United States from Vietnam, Laos, Thailand and Cambodia in the years after the end of Operation Desert Storm. The United Nations estimates that nearly 5 million Americans have fled to these countries in order to escape war. In most cases, the people who end up living here—especially children—are not the victims of criminal activities or terrorism; they are the victims of persecution, discrimination or humiliation from the outside, or they are the victims of a military campaign. The people who end up in this nation are often suffering from many of the same conditions that many other populations face on a day

“This book is neither an accusation nor a confession, and least of all an adventure, fordeath is not an adventure to those who stand face to face with it. It will try simply to tell of ageneration of men who, even though they may have escaped shells, were destroyed bythe war.”Erich Maria Remarque, the author of All Quiet on the Western Front, was a hero in the time of World War I. During this time period, the only people who truly knew what was going on on the battlefields were those who were fighting.
The war novel All Quiet on the Western Front could be used as a source to discuss the Great War because of the past history of the author. Remarque, was a World War I veteran for the German army. He was wounded five times in combat during the course of his time in the war. Remarque fully experienced what war was really like. His novel can probably be recognized as a highly autobiographical piece of literature. The characters in his book went through many of the same trials and tribulations that he did while being a German solider in World War I. For this reason, I believe it is very rational to assume that All Quiet on the Western Front could be used as a source for discussing the Great War. Remarque saw the battles first hand and possibly incorporated much of his own life as a solider in the book.
The battle novel All Quiet on the Western Front could be used as a source to discuss the Great War because of The Great War? Remarque, wrote a prequel to The War Novel and a historical novel: The Forgotten War. As the World War I wars in Europe and America grew ever-increasing in intensity and scale, the idea of what one could expect from the battles of World War I evolved into a more immediate need for war. It was this need that made this book possible at the time. Remarque described the Great War as a campaign that felt like an out-of-control, long-fought process, but he said that the real aim of the book was the creation of a “greater war.” He described it as a battle that would “not only set a precedent for the rest of us, but make the experience of war one in which its own people are fighting on its own battlefield, as one’s own will to stay alive is being made.” Each battle was in a larger-than-life setting: a battle in which there was fighting left, right, center and back. Remarque described the war as a time where the German forces were in the grip of “two hundred of the most devastating campaigns imaginable” in the history of mankind over the course of more than two centuries. He described the Great War as a time when the Allies were preparing the way for another world war that took over the globe in 1939. And he described the Battle of Ypres, the Battle of Ypres Castle, and the Battle of Ypres Castle as these pivotal battles of the Third Reich’s “the greatest campaign of German resistance in their history.” If the book was made by the same people who wrote The Battle of Ypres and I believe the author is the same people, Remarque’s book would come across as “a far more personal kind of political critique” and a far lighter book because the subject matter of the book is very personal: His own experiences as a soldier and an activist and a journalist. Both of these themes are very personal to Remarque and can be easily seen in his treatment of these forces and the war he fought, The Forgotten War.
This excerpt from the book begins on the “most personal note of my life.” Remarque was very disturbed by the way that the war was coming across in the world. He described how his personal experience had affected him the most about it. In The Forgotten War he also described two problems that had plagued his career thus far: (1) His personal life experience and (2) his personal political experience. So, while it is possible to have the best memoir and novels, there is a limit to how much a well-known writer can share without doing enough research. In this book, however, I hope that a detailed chronicle of this personal experience and how that experience has shaped his thoughts and events will serve as a base for further research. It would be interesting to see him write more about both these problems. Finally, in this chapter we will take a turn back to the war experience of all the brave German soldiers
Another reason that the novel All Quiet on the Western Front could be used as a source to discuss the Great War is because of the daily experiences that the soldiers encountered in the book. The life of a soldier in the Great War was a constant avoidance of death. The characters in the novel dealt with such problems also. This continuous evasion from death caused people to become very unstable mentally and physically, in the book as well as in the actual war. Trench warfare, which was an important war strategy used, forced soldiers into horrendous conditions. In the text of “Modern Europe,” the author, Merriman, states, “Persistent lice, mice, and enormous starving rats were… constant companions in the stagnant water of the trenches” (pg.1046). In chapter 6 of the book Paul describes him and his company fighting off giant rats to protect their food. This is an evident similarity concerning the trench warfare in the book and in real life. Furthermore, when Paul is in the hospital with Lewandowski recovering from his wounds, the hospital is forced to use paper bandages. This was at a late point in the war when Germany was at a loss of supplies for much of their military. The significance of this is that it showed that
